Wearable Antenna for millimeter wave 5G Communications

In this paper, we presented a simulation-based study on a wearable textile (jeans) planar antenna for 5G technologies with parametric analysis. Optimum lengths of dimensions for the antenna is present for best return loss, gain and VSWR, radiation efficiency and free space path loss. The radiating element for patch and ground plane is made from thin-film copper foil. The proposed textile antenna may find its suitability in wearable applications such as the medical field and BAN (Body Area Network).
